All I can say is WOW! I should've been using the kecap manis well before now. The flavour was more intense and perfect. Exactly what I was after. The colour of the chicken was amazing ~ a dark gleaming burnish, and lots of pan juices to make that sauce!
Honey Soy Chicken
Chicken Leg Pieces ~ enough for your family
2 spoonfuls of honey
ketcap manis (about 1-2 tablespoons)

- Preheat the oven to 180C/375F.
- Place the honey in a bowl ~ an ordinary cereal bowl will do.
- Add the kecap manis. It pours very slowly, so mix as you go, until it goes a really dark colour. Add some regular soy sauce to thin the mixture out if you want to.
- Brush the chicken pieces with the honey soy mixture and place skin side up in a greased glass baking dish.
- Bake for 45-60 minutes, brushing with pan juices after the first half hour of cooking.
This chicken also goes really nicely with salads. Perhaps a potato salad, my Asian salad or a crisp garden salad. Perfect if you want something for guests ... even without the sauce.

Great recipes this week, Tracy--I'm going to give the Honey Soy Chicken a try soon--hope I can find the ketcap manis ...

Frances if you can't find the kecap manis, you could try dark soy sauce.
The Asian section of my supermarket has it.
Love kecap manis at our house! Well, ok, excluding Miss 5 - LOL!
I suppose Miss 5 won't be tempted by this chicken then will she!!!! The rest might enjoy it though.
